| Summary | 0001040: open_wmemstream() and mbstate_t | ||||
| Description | Since streams opened with open_wmemstream() do not involve any wide-character to multi-byte character conversion, the requirements in the standard relating to the mbstate_t object associated with wide-oriented streams should not apply to streams opened with open_wmemstream(). | ||||
| Desired Action | On page 498 line 17038 section 2.5.2 Change: Each wide-oriented stream has an associated mbstate_t object ...to: Each wide-oriented stream [CX]that was not opened with open_wmemstream()[/CX] has an associated mbstate_t object ... On page 498 line 17049 section 2.5.2 Change: ... the external file associated with a wide-oriented stream is a sequence of (possibly multi-byte) characters ...to: ... the external file associated with a wide-oriented stream [CX]that was not opened with open_wmemstream()[/CX] is a sequence of (possibly multi-byte) characters ... On page 498 line 17057 section 2.5.2 Change: The wide-character input functions read characters from the stream and convert them ...to: [CX]On streams that were not opened with open_wmemstream()[/CX], the wide-character input functions read characters from the stream and convert them ... On page 498 line 17062 section 2.5.2 Change: The wide-character output functions convert wide characters to (possibly multi-byte) characters ...to: [CX]On streams that were not opened with open_wmemstream()[/CX], the wide-character output functions convert wide characters to (possibly multi-byte) characters ... | ||||

I agree the use of mbstate_t to always down convert, width wise, wchars to a multibyte encoding on output and up convert on input not necessary, but they are still required to handle the %c and %s format specifiers, without the l modifier, for wscan*() and wprint*(). Also, to properly handle Unicode in Issue 8, the mbstate_t needs fields to process multiword encodings in char16_t and char32_t arrays used as arguments to those, in the absence of a mwstate_t type. I think the change proposed doesn't cover that sufficiently. At present, "possibly multibyte" covers "possibly multiword" implicitly. |
